Where to watch Lanterns and episode count
Lanterns is available on HBO and HBO Max in the US. In the UK, you have even more options: HBO Max (which has now launched in the country), NOW TV, and Sky Atlantic are your streaming destinations for Lanterns
Lanterns is eight episodes long, matching most of HBO's recent shorter output. Fun fact: it's been almost 15 years since the last HBO season had 12 or more episodes.
Is Lanterns in the DCU?
Yes, it is! James Gunn and Peter Safran's DCU began with Creature Commandos, Superman, Peacemaker, and Supergirl. John Stewart's story will continue in next year's Man of Tomorrow movie now that Aaron Pierre has been confirmed to join that cast.

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
